RE: RAC ASM 10.2.0.1.0 Solaris 9

Thks Mike, 
   
  What am finding confusing is the following statement (from Oracle Clusterware 
and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide 10g Release 2 (10.2) 
for Solaris OS - B14205-03),  page 3-13 Configuring Database File Storage on 
ASM and Raw Devices.
   
  To use ASM with raw partitions, you must creatre sufficient partitions for 
your data files, and then bind the partitions to raw devices. 
   
  The question is how does  the sysadmin do this when all he has is 50GB of SAN 
storage. I know this is more of unix question, but i can't get my head round 
this. We are not using any LVM.
   
  Also i presume you have installed your ASM instance in it's own ORACLE_HOME. 
   
  TIA

  2 of them for staggering database files between 1 system and another, and the

  Am trying to get my head round on how to configure the disk storage so that i 
can use this for my ASM RAC database.
   
  I've  got in total 50GB on a HDS SAN (RAID5) to play with. My question is how 
do i configure this so that i can use the storage for my ASM disk group(s).
   
  Do i ask the sysadmins to create me a 50GB raw partition?
   
  TIA
